And they ALL walk!!!!

Today they all walk!  They can't see a damn thing but they can walk!!!  YEAH!  You should try it. Go to a brand new place (start from a lying down position), plug your ears, close your eyes and get up and walk around.  It is not easy, so you all should be very impressed with them.  Oh ya and they are only a big whopping 13 days old!  It always amazing me what they accomplish in such a short span of time!  So today the surface in their pool has changed.  The surface has changed for a variety of reasons.  First to give them more traction as they are increasing their mobility. Secondly, to give them a different "feel" they will learn all sorts of new surfaces at their stay here. Lastly, they are now leaving their sleeping areas to go potty.  So it is easier for cleanup.  

Olé is now leaving the pool for longer period of time but she stays close and falls asleep with her head on the edge of the pool so she can watch them but not be in there all the time as they pretty much want to nurse 24 hours a day.  Excalibur and Venetian pace themselves and are not big gorgers.  Luxor and Monte big huge pigs.  They would eat themselves to death if possible. Mirage is middle of the road and a little undecided as the whether she wants to be a pacer or a gorger.   So the "jury is out".  Or as Kim would say "the Yahtzee is out".  In the first borderstaffy litter I raised the theme was legal terms.  One puppy was "Jury" and that turned into my teammate Kim's dog Yahtzee.  So now whenever we use the saying the jury is out, we say the Yahtzee is out.  

So Robbie and Sonya came to visit the puppies today.  Olé plays flyball with them when not being a mommy.  They have several OT puppies.  They have Sniper (borderstaffy Vixen X Maverick), Impulse (Jedi X Dart), Elle (Vixen X Sooner) and they will be keeping a male co-owned with me from this Olé litter.  Sounds like I bred them a whole team....oh wait I think I did!  They BTW are the WORST at taking photos it is ridiculous.  So I have to force/trick/bribe them  to bring over one of their OT dogs so I can take my own photos.  Take heed and send photos so you will not be the subject of future blogs!!  :) So tonight was Elle's photo shoot. I got lots of great photos of her.  It appears like the merles got all the hair in this litter.  The two reds and one black and white are very slight in coat comparatively.  Strange. Although if I keep a puppy it is not going to have coat. They never EVER do.  In the Jedi X Dart litters there are three out of eleven that have no hair, and two of them are MINE.  I don't get it.  Although Lust's coat is getting much thicker thanks to Dinovite.  Envy just started on it so we shall see!!  

I am sitting here typing the blog while multitasking with my latest addiction, watching Jon & Kate Plus 8 followed by 18 and counting.  So on Jon & Kate plus 8, they recently got two German Shepherd puppies.....ok WHY?   Cause sextuplets and a set of twins was not hard enough you thought two puppies at the same time sounded like a good idea?  Dammit and we know insanity is hereditary!  Anyways, one of the GSD pups ate a toy, I know HUGE shocker and had to have surgery for an obstruction/toy removal.   So Jon picks up said puppy from the vet following surgery, takes her home and promptly out in the yard with the other pup she goes to run a muck. UGH!  

Oh very cute--Olé is laying in the pool on her side all stretched out and Excalibur is laying across her neck like a matching B&W scarf, and Mirage and Venetian have climbed up her and are laying across her side.  So when you look really quick at her she looks all lumpy!  Wish I could take a photo cause it is adorable but the instant I move so will Olé.  And where are Monte and Luxor you ask........well eating ofcourse!  I tried to tell you PIGS!  

Tomorrow is their visit from the Canine Chiropractor.  Very important to make sure everything is aligned correctly for a healthy mind and body!  

Off to bed, Good night blog followers.  More tomorrow.  Adios!
